    Hi – I exported posts, pages, and media from a live WordPress website. I went to import into a different website called testingwebsite and got this fatal error message:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_cli_args() (previously declared in /home3/chickade/public_html/TestingWebsite.com/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-importer.php:282) in /home3/chickade/public_html/TestingWebsite.com/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-importer.php on line 333
    The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.

    (Using PHP v 7.1 on web server)

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Usually, but not always, a redeclare error is caused by a plugin/theme conflict. You might try using the WordPress Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin:
    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/

    When installing and activating that plugin, it allows you to operate the site in “Troubleshooting” mode. Where all plugins are disabled, and a default theme is used, but only for your user until you disable it or log out.

    It might help determine if there is a plugin/theme conflict.

    Thank you for your reply, Thomas. It turns out it was a plugin called “Rara One Click Demo Import” that was causing the conflict. I de-activated the plugin and the Import does not throw the error any more.
